SAMUEL MORRIS

Cincinnati


Samuel Morris

CINCINNATI, March 15.—Samuel Morris, 32 years old, and manager of the Morris Jewelry & Optical Co., 11 W. 6th St., was killed by an automobile last Thursday. He had been attending a birthday party at the home of Charles Silverglade, 3511 Reading Road, Avondale, and was just leaving that home along with 18 other guests, including his wife, when he was struck by an automobile.

Mr. Morris intended to cross Reading Road as his machine was parked on the other side of the street. The jeweler was hurriedly removed to the General Hospital where he died within a few minutes from a fractured skull.

Mr. Morris some time ago conducted a store on upper Main St., but gave up the location to move into the business district downtown.

Deceased is survived by his widow and a son.

J.H. GLICK

Chicago


J. H. Glick, bookkeeper for Joseph Brown & Co., was the victim of a painful accident last Friday. During a furious windstorm a pane of glass near which he was sitting was blown out of the window frame and shattered itself on Mr. Click’s head. The left side of his face was laid open and a doctor who was called found that eight stitches were necessary to sew up the wound. Mr. Glick was removed to his home and is expected to be well within a few days.

S.G. SMITH

Boston, Massachusetts


The death on Dec. 30 at his home in Brookline, Mass., of S. G. Smith came as the sequel to an accident that happened about two years ago, when Mr. Smith was run over by a team. Paralysis ensued from his injuries. He was in business as a watchmaker and jeweler for upward of 40 years in Exchange St., this city, and had a fine reputation as an expert in his line of work. He was 67 years of age.

WILSON LUNDY

Frenchtown, New Jersey


A Jeweler Tries to Kill his Parents, Desperado Fashion

Frenchtown, N, J., Sept. 30. — Wilson Lundy, jeweler, attempted to murder his parents early yesterday morning. He procured a revolver, chased them through the house and fired several shots at them, noneof which took effect. He has been a reader of dime novels all his life, and, it is thought became suddenly insane, when he attempted to commit the rash deed. He will be taken to the Morris Plains Asylum to-day.

C.A. WILCOX

Los Angeles


Mrs. C. A. Wilcox, wife of C. A. Wilcox, a jeweler, 3730 Stephenson Ave., this city, was seriously injured in an automobile accident last week. The car in which she was riding was struck by a Southern Pacific railroad train and was thrown 45 feet off the track. Mrs. Wilcox remained in the machine until it stopped, and was then hurled 15 feet further. It is regarded as almost a miracle that she was not killed, but she is slowly recovering and is now able to be up a portion of the time.
